Chain Home was the codename for the ring of coastal Early Warning radar stations built by the British before and during the Second World War.

This system had shortcomings in not being able to detect aircraft at lower altitudes and thus was used in conjunction with the Chain Home Low system, or AMES Type 2 which could detect aircraft flying at minimum altitude level of 500 ft.

The Chain Home system was fairly primitive, since — in order to be battle-ready — it had been rushed into production by Sir Robert Watson-Watt's Air Ministry research station near Bawdsey.

Chain Home certainly suffered from glitches and errors in reporting.

The simpler Chain Home stations provided comprehensive coverage by the start of the Battle of Britain, whereas the Germans had only commissioned around 8 of their Freya stations by this time.

Although simple, Chain Home could determine distance and direction of incoming aircraft formations.

The Chain Home Low stations operated at 200 MHz on the VHF band, or about a 1. 5 m wavelength.

With detection poor below, Chain Home Low stations were placed between Chain Home stations to detect aircraft down to but only out to from the coast, about one third the range of Chain Home.
